Our Year-end Wish: That Whoever Refreshes Others will also be Refreshed!

Dear Partner/Friends:

Beloved, be sure to count all your blessings this Christmas, as there are more than you think. You are a blessing to many, and we treasure you very much.

Some people make choices that change lives for eternity, and others commit to sustainable ventures to empower others. Thanks a million for being part of our lives. Your fervent prayers, encouragement, and donations continue to help change the lives of families and inhabitants of local communities.

Your sacrificial giving continues to impact lives as our true “Rope Holders,” as we serve on the frontline.

Remember what the Scripture says about partners and friends like you: “A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.” (Proverbs 11:25)

The possibilities and opportunities are enormous, and your support ensures we can forever build better tomorrow for families and communities through our programs. LEADLiberia, Inc. funded programs serve the needs (physical/spiritual) in communities wherever we reach out to help.

As we serve together, the following are realities we are faced with while endeavoring to mitigate:

  1. 85% of pastoral leaders have little or no theological education yet are called by God to ministry, therefore affecting church health. Lead’s ministry has been committed to mitigating this since 2001.

  2. 50% of pastoral leaders might abandon the ministry due to economic hardship, LEADLiberia’s SEED (Sustainable Economic Empowerment and Development) Program has continued to develop a model for sustainability on its 125-acre farm.

  3. 75% of children of school-going age might remain illiterate due to the immense cost of education in a post-war developing country. Our Work Grant Program has been targeting such children.

  4. Almost 65% of churches might lose the opportunity to become truly indigenous because they are not self-supporting, self-governing, and self-propagating. Sustainable agriculture through our ministry is intentionally endeavoring to change the narrative; turning the church into a mission force in combating the spread of Islam and other traditional religions.

Based on these realities, we cannot forget pastors and their families supporting less fortunate children, training, and empowerment of leaders. Such pastors and families remain committed to church health and transitioning local churches into indigenous churches that are self-supporting, self-governing, and self-propagating to fulfill a grander mandate.

Thanks to donors like you who continue to pray for us and “Hold the Rope” so that we become capable of doing more as we strive to accomplish new heights in sustainable development.

Without your support, LEADLiberia and our SEED Project would not be able to give back meaningfully to its beneficiaries (direct/indirect).

Thanks again for your generosity! Your gift counts as we reach out to touch lives. Let us keep up the good work together for His Glory.

We wish you and your family Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year!

Rich blessings,
